Last night I played at Eon Cafe for the first time. I hoped to meet some more folks who might be enticed to come see the full band at the Bistro on January 11th in downtown Hayward. I was amazed at how loud the booker wanted the music for such a small cafe. I learned more and more how the tight knit cafe values it’s music and how people come just to see who the new feature is. Thanks to Al Badger for the nod on his blog regarding the show. Many of you know I am obsessed with Loose Leaf Tea- I even wrote a song about it after my visit to Vital Leaf Tea Bar in China Town. Well add Mulberry Tea to the list of loose leafs I treasure. Actually wait on that- I haven’t tried the bag they gave me, but I hope it becomes the simple pleasure that is dragonwell in my life. I played the reggae songs last night without percussion and I felt naked with the absence of the band; the family. It was good though and I will put up a picture or two from the cafe tonight. Speaking of cafes, the owner of the Nomad Cafe, Chris Waters, was kind enough to judge the West Coast Songwriter’s song competition I host. It was a pleasure and he elaborates on the Nomad Cafe weblog. Jacob and the band and I will decide song order for our CD this Friday and solidify it Saturday at practice. Everything else is done. I can’t wait to play Joe’s again and catch up with friends! And, oh, my friend Billy White is going to play “Sinner Man” with us, from the “Thomas Crown Affair” for our CD Release- which I will tell you the date of ASAP! I have it, pending the booker’s confirmation!
